Arizona’s shadows are better than yours.

Check it out, friends of Lily Sleeps!

Because it’s show time at the Apollo.

In keeping with our tradition of getting out and exploring on New Year's Day, yesterday was no different.

Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument is an easy drive from Tucson, and well, the views speak for themselves!

What travel plans do you have for 2020?

P.S. Happy New Year, friends!

Things are happening.

REALTORS® on social media: Every agent is a “rockstar” dressed to the nines, all day, every day!

Real estate reality: sometimes you get the deal worked out in your bathrobe while wearing a watch cap.

P.S. Lynda and I are the buyers on this one... Suzanne Meier - Pinetop AZ Real Estate is our agent, and she’s awesome!

What do you think? Should cities impose owner-occupancy limitations on short term vacation rentals?

Or should the free market decide?

I’m actually torn on this!

The short-term rental company is facing increased scrutiny to ensure its listings comply with new city regulations.

11/20/2019

Well, we've got big news! After much deliberation, Lynda and I decided to sell Lily Sleeps.

With Phil Alu's expert help, Lily sold and recently closed.

Our first guests checked in in January 2016, and we have so many great memories from hosting visitors--many of whom became (and remain) friends. Being a vacation-rental host and "The Cleaning Lady" was one of the best jobs I've ever had.

So what's next? We're investigating properties in Pinetop-Lakeside, Arizona, that we can share with our friends.

Thank you all for your friendship, engagement, and support. We can't wait to have you along for the next chapter!

Hi, friends!

We've been out of the vacation-rental arena for a while, but we wanted to let all of you in the Lily Sleeps family know that she is officially for sale!

Lynda Cannon and I have had such an amazing time getting to know our guests--many of whom become and are still, friends. Being the cleaning lady at Lily Sleeps was the best job!

Sometimes people think that I am a lady named Lilly.

At least I’m a pretty lady!

On the road in Eugene, Oregon, staying with fellow host Marcy and her pup Lucy.

Farm fresh eggs from Marcy’s chickens—life is good!

Here's something our guests will for sure encounter while staying in Scottsdale!

These bikes are everywhere!

Residents in some Phoenix and Scottsdale neighborhoods are wondering about ride-sharing bikes being left wherever.

Being a vacation-rental host has been the best job I've ever had, and I'm glad our pride in Lily Sleeps shows!

Your vacation rental or hotel room has a Christmas tree, right? Because Lily Sleeps does. Just saying...

12/16/2017

Scottsdale. Today.

Arizona winters are brutal.

A new MCM light! And Lily's getting a new top hat (ok, roof)! And this may be the last time you see this orange color!

Stay tuned for more and see Lynda's vision take form!
